I have read with interest the article on the new Chinese tariff in your Inst isane, and I think that boriness men, both on this side and in China, sttri- bute an undue importance to the new tariff rates. Whether the Chinese daties are a little higher or a little lower does not matter very much as long as all nations are treated alike. The matter would be very different if in some way or another English trade with Chins was discriminated against

BERLIN, Jaly 18. Details of the tracking of Bathenan's murderers show that two tourists arrived at Halle on Sunday and reported that they had seen a light in the turret of Baaleck Castle and believed the assassins were there as its solitary tenant the author, Doctor Stein, was absent. The police proceeded to the castle and demanded admission. This the inmates refused. The police departed to obtain reinforcements. While the police were absent two men appeared on the balustrade and grested passersby with cheers" for Ehrhardt, the notorious leader Kapp, and Putsch.

It was atated therein that the Board considered an *pplication from the Hon. Mr. H. W. Bird for certain closets at No. 188, The Peak. That is quite incorrect; Mr. Bird had nothing whatever to do with that application; it was made on behalf of Mr. Shenton by Messrs, Denison, Ram and Gibbs. The error, is no doubt, based on a passage in a minute by Dr. Ozorio, which I now understand is incorrect.
